Give Me a Lifetime
Anthem Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dear God just saw an angel with my own eyes
And now she's the only thing on my mind
Now I may be out of line
Is there any way that I can make her mine
Give me a lifetime
That's all that I'm asking for
Give me a lifetime
Not a second less, not a moment more
Hey, girl not exactly sure where to start
Want to give you the world
But I don't have it yet
So darling, here's my heart
Now I may run out of time
But I would gladly spend my life just to try
Give me a lifetime
That's all that I'm asking for
Give me a lifetime
Not a second less, but not a moment more
Baby, we will both find
Everything that we're looking for
Give me a lifetime
Not a second less, not a moment more




I want nothing more dear God
Just saw an angel with my own eyes

Once I find her, this is the song I'm going to play. Now matter how long it takes, this will always be the song. It's one that will last a lifetime.

@KlairaJones

I know this is from a guy’s perspective but even still, the chorus describes exactly how I feel. It’s such a beautiful song!❤️

@Alexis6834

Expecting our baby in just two weeks from today, listening to this song before bed just reminds me how lucky I am to have the husband that I do 💕
This is our song... One of the first we used to express truly how we felt for one another. It's honestly so beautiful. I love him so much.

@PiratePrincessAlisa

Goosebumps. Every time I listen to this song. Phenomenal.

@MoonBlinked13

You guys have the most beautiful voices. I don’t know why you’re not on the radio (that I’ve heard). Your music is so much better than what I normally hear.

@generalwolf35gaming

I relate to this song so much.
I know I’m still pretty young (20) and there’s plenty of time, but I’ve never been in a relationship cuz they fall apart before they even have a chance to grow.
I’ve seen an angel, but I’m a little hesitant to try cuz I don’t know where and how to start.

All I’m praying for is a lifetime with an angel, the one I’ve been waiting for.

@MaggieGraceWebb

Someday, I'm gonna give some guy a lifetime. Until then, I'll hide my love away.

@jessamyleah143

I hope he loves you like the movies
